other persons were taken off the bus. they have a mass casualty situation. multiple ambulances. new all of the casualties have left the scene except for the person who is diseased. firefighters are looking around to make sure someone wasn't thrown from the wreckage as it rolled down the hill. it appears they've accounted for everyone. maryland state police do have several roads blocked in the area. our traffic reporter has been diligent telling which ones are closed. the area is gridlocked. 270 being one of the main arteries from washington towards the frederick area. at this point still early on, not having gotten any confirmed information on exactly how many people were on the bus, it was a smaller style charter bus, not one of the big motor coaches you would normally think of. as you can see, the road is
